On the first Saturday of ACL Festival, energy downtown was already high. Coming off his headlining performance at the festival on Friday, Carín León and his amazing backing band of talented musicians took the ACL TV stage by storm, performing career-spanning highlights including “Primera Cita” and “Que Vuelvas.”
The night was a boot-stomping singalong that may have been one of the most fun tapings to date. León engaged with the studio audience throughout his spirited performance, throwing multiple hats and, toward the end of the night, his belt, into the audience. León ended the night with covers “Don’t Stop Believing,” and “Free Fallin’,” showcasing his incredible vocal range, then taking us home with “La boda del Huitlacoche.” Everyone was out of their seats, dancing and clapping along.
Catch Carín León’s Season 50 episode on PBS in early 2015, in celebration of 50 years of Austin City Limits.
